dude if you want real suspension performance... get the upgraded Rear SWAY bar... keeps the back of the car PLANTED on the pavement.

any strut bar reinforces the chasis and that always helps but with the RSB (and front sway bar if you go for the full package which you should consider cuz its a good value to get both) it keeps the rear shocks more level during cornering and makes it feel like you have super glue on your rear tires.

i used to take this corner off a street that is 45 mph limit onto another 55mph limit all the time. When I was feeling peppy, I'd only slow down to about 28-30mph and then floor it as I came out of the turn, tires screeching and all. If I tried going any faster... I'd and almost hit the curb/median. After getting an upgraded RSB... I was able to do it at about 37-38mph (more importantly at higher rpms in 2nd gear) with no screeching rubber and whoa... i end up hitting 55mph REAL quick.
